Previous work along the U.S. Atlantic coast shows that the structure and composition of older geologic strata located seaward of the coast heavily influences the coastal behavior of areas with limited sediment supply, such as the Grand Strand. By defining this geologic framework and identifying the transport pathways and sinks of sediment, geoscientists are developing conceptual models of the present-day physical processes shaping the South Carolina coast. The primary objectives of this research effort are: 1) to provide a regional synthesis of the shallow geologic framework underlying the coastal upland, shoreface and inner continental shelf, and define its role in coastal evolution and modern beach behavior; 2) to identify and model the physical processes affecting coastal ocean circulation and sediment transport, and to define their role in shaping the modern shoreline; and 3) to identify sediment sources and transport pathways; leading to construction of a regional sediment budget.This data set contains tracklines for swath bathymetric system collected by the U.S. Geological Survey during geophysical cruises offshore of the Grand Strand, SC.19991029, 20000313, 20010501, 20020502, 20020603, 2003050119991112, 20000330, 20010515, 20020508, 20020608, 20030521ground conditionCompleteNone planned-79.175150-78.51626733.84551033.143860GeneralU.S. Geological SurveyUSGSWoods Hole Science CenterWHSCCoastal and Marine Geology ProgramCMGPtrackstrack linesswath bathymetrybathymetryESRI polyline shapefileWHSC field activity serial number 00014WHSC field activity serial number 01008WHSC field activity serial number 02011WHSC field activity serial number 02014WHSC field activity serial number 03009WHSC field activity serial number 99044ISO 19115 Topic Categoryoceansoceans and coastaloceans and estuarieslocationtransportationGeneralSouth CarolinaGrand StrandNorth Myrtle BeachMyrtle BeachSurfsideGarden CityPawleys IslandWaites IslandSoutheast United StatesUnited StatesAtlantic OceanNoneThe Public domain data from the U.S. Government are freely redistributable with proper metadata and source attribution.
